Trans info Scotland/UK

Firstly, the new NHS Scotland Gender Reassignment Protocol - here's what a trans blogger wrote about it, and links to the actual documents http://transactivist.wordpress.com/2012 ... -patients/ Overall, it looks very good (for the usual standards in place currently) and progressive.

(I'm not closely familiar with the blog itself, but having read a few posts, it looks like a generally non-hatey place to link to.)

Also seen on that blog is a post about the sexual health guides for trans people produced by the Terrence Higgins Trust. Perhaps it's because I've never needed something like this, so never gone looking, but it seems to me that good information like that is quite scarce. This blogger seems to think they're good. http://transactivist.wordpress.com/2012 ... ns-people/ (with onward links to the guides.)
There's now a draft protocol for treatment of trans* people in England. Linking to the same blog as above for information and analysis of it:
http://transactivist.wordpress.com/2012 ... -services/
http://transactivist.wordpress.com/2012 ... dysphoria/
http://transactivist.wordpress.com/2012 ... ol-review/

It's clearly not as good as the Scottish one (English/Welsh and Scottish NHS operate separately, although it's usually easy for a person from one nation to access temporary treatment in the other - as much as it is in a different place within the same nation, anyway.)
